We're
Brian Cypher & Andrea Starbird
and we call our band / project FOREVER NOW.It's usually difficult for
musicians to describe what "style" of
music they play, especially when their music
fuses many genres and their natural tendency is
to avoid being labeled and put into some catagory
like "alternative" or
"electronica". I've included an
"INFLUENCES" page to let you know what
we love and listen to, and although we don't
sound like any of them (well... maybe), nor do we
pretend to be as good as them (nowhere near), at
least you'll get an idea of where we're coming
from. I'd have to say we play a strange and
unique mutant hybrid of 80's synth-pop covered in
a haze of psychedelia, which we record in our
modest home studio, PUSH PLAY.

The
songs included here are our first attempts
together, recorded in late '97 / early '98. Our
new music will take a different turn from this; I
think it'll be more aggressive, more noisy (I
hope), and more "electro".
The songs are presented in chronological order,
and are all available on the CD "TIME"

Another day goes by...
and you know you're... going to die.Time keeps on slipping... through your hands... through your
hands.
You try on... a new set of clothes.
You've got to look right... to play your role.Time keeps on slipping... through your hands... through your
hands.
Trapped... by your fears...
as you waste away... one more year.Time keeps on slipping... through your hands... through your
hands.

DOWN
TO THIS...
It's down to this... follow your bliss. The time is now... and
this is how.
Don't let your understanding... put limits on your soul,
'cause magic cannot happen... if you're afraid to lose control...
no, no, no.It's down to this... follow your bliss. The time is now and
this is how.
Don't let your mind confuse your instincts, what's a heart ruled
by a head? DEAD!It's down to this... follow your bliss. The time is now...
and this is how.
You've got to feel... to know what's real.
You've got to be free... can't you... can't you see... you've got
to be free.
You've got to fly your arrow straight... without a hint of fear.
You've got to focus straight... even through your tears.It's down to this...
follow your bliss. The time is now... and this is how.

DON'T
RUN AWAY

You say time... is a precious thing. I say peace of mind... is a
precious thing.You've got to slow down... and get your feet back on the
ground.
Don't run away... Don't run away.
You keep running... through your days. You say running... is the
only way.You've got to slow down... and get your feet back... on the
ground.
Don't run away... Don't run away.
You keep running... from your fears. You'll be running... out of
years.You've got to slow down... and get your feet back on the
ground.
Don't run away... Don't run away...

BITTER
WIND

I've grown... old before my time. Carried... burdens that were
never mine.
My heart used to be of supple pine, but now of oak, that creaks
and groans. Standing in a field alone, a bitter wind enfolds.
Tell me... tell me... tell me... why is it so hard to find,
a man who's heart is strong and kind?
If souls touch through smiling eyes, then all I ask is tell me no
lies.Standing in a field alone, a bitter wind enfolds.
The oak falls down in a mighty wind... but pine has suppleness to
bend.
So hold my hand... and be my friend... and hold back the bitter
wind
and turn this oak to pine again.Standing in a field alone, a bitter wind enfolds...

DESOLATION

Desolation... everywhere... desolation... nobody cares.
Desolation... all around... desolation... no love to be found.
No right or wrong... in their eyes. Born and raised and fed on
lies.
Environment is suicide.
I can see it in their eyes... as they sit... patiently to die...
all the while... clinging to their lies.
No right or wrong... in their eyes. Born and raised and fed on
lies.
Revelation.... if you knew the truth. Desolation... is not what
it's worth.
If you could... open your eyes... forget... all those lies.
Learn to feel... again... be real... again...
